Daniel Martin, Duchess Meghan Markle‘s wedding day makeup artist, told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY, “The Magic Balm Stick hasn’t left my kit since its introduction because I can use it in so many ways. Great on the cheeks as a highlighter, on the body for sheen, and scraped and mixed with eyeshadow, it creates a beautiful cream color on the eyes! It’s the perfect multi-use stick for anyone!”

“This innovative mascara wand is so cool! Use it the traditional way to lengthen lashes, then BEND THE WAND to lift them. You can get super close to the lash line, and reach all the smaller, bottom lashes with this smart design. It’s truly different and unique!” — Dory Larrabee-Zayas, Beauty & Lifestyle Director

BEST EYELINER — ColourPop BFF Liquid Liners, $8, ColourPop.com

This cult-favorite blush comes in three new-for-2019 shades: Saucy Mauve, Beachy Peach and Copper Cabana. “The Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Blush makes my skin look like it’s glowing. It’s got a rich pink hue, so you don’t need much, but a light application instantly brightens the skin and adds a pop of color. It also has a highlighter quality, because the powder has a bit of sparkle packed in. The product is also super buildable, so you can create a glow as subtle or as bold as desired. For a retail price of just $12.95, this blush is a bargain when it comes to the quality!” — Brandy Robidoux, Music News Writer

“Taking care of your skin is so important, and I find that having a cleanser that is gentle enough to use twice a day, but leaves your face really feeling clean is a hard find — until now. My face felt soft and the smell of rose water was really refreshing. Plus, I’m for anything that is cruelty free.” — Dina Sartore-Bodo, Managing Editor

“This was a surprising product to try. Not only did it remove hair quickly, but I enjoyed how smooth my legs felt after with no chemical smell. And that smooth feeling lasted for days.

“I’ve been wearing a lot of eyeliner and shadow while testing for the beauty awards, but these pre-cut pads are perfect at the end of the day. They gently and easily wipe away all traces of makeup. Plus, unlike some other eye makeup removers, they DON’T STING, which is so important for such a sensitive area.” — Dory Larrabee-Zayas, Beauty & Lifestyle Director

“I’m 9 months pregnant and exhausted. When I get home from work, I can barely move, so the last thing I want to do is a 10-step skincare routine. However, I do still wear a lot of makeup. These wipes are great at ‘taking the day off’ but are super gentle. They are fragrance free and don’t irritate my sensitive skin. I packed them in my hospital bag for when I go into labor.” — Dory Larrabee-Zayas, Beauty & Lifestyle Director

“This gradual tan gives you a gorgeous glow within four to eight hours of application. Apply at night and in the morning for a deeper color and longer-lasting tan.

It dries super fast and doesn’t transfer, so you don’t have to worry about ruining your clothes or sheets.” — Dory Larrabee-Zayas, Beauty & Lifestyle Director
